How to Close Grip Pull Up

Starting Position

2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and open your chest.

Proper Form

2. Pull your arms to bring your chest close to the bar.

3. Slowly extend your arms and return to the original position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe out while pulling and breathe in while going down.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lose your starting position when you come down.
